Got Kid?? Got Prayer??

Either I am learning to speak 'kid' or Little One is growing up...or perhaps the answer to a much prayed prayer. Maybe it's a combination of the both of us. Loveable as he is, we just go head to head sometimes....we are both stubborn maybe. But...MAN....he is having the best time in school this year and even told me tonight "I like school." I did a double take to make sure I didn't in advertently bring home someone else's kid today from the school pick up line! He did his homework WITHOUT COMPLAINT, ate all his dinner with GOOD manners, went to karate practice and had his usual blast time, sat quietly through the HOA meeting tonight and is now sitting at the bar drawing and coloring while I finished up the dinner dishes. WOW!!! So this is what it's supposed to be like!!

I prayed really hard about 3 weeks ago and just came to tears in church that day. I HAD to let go of my aggravation and frustration on a situation and just asked God into my heart, to make me more like Him, to Love and not hold anger in my heart. Since that day, I have clicked with the boys like never before. My anger was not directed at them, toward them, in any way. I cannot control another person's actions, but I can sure control mine and my attitude. So, maybe I am learning to speak 'kid'...or just maybe I am growing up a little. Even Older One commented the other day on my new found language fluency.

Boys are getting so big...I just love them dearly.

God is good....all the time.
